I hate to be a debbie downer but there is NO reasoning with these people. We have tried. Unfortunately, they will label you as weak, you have no faith and label you an apostate. It is sad but true. I used to stress myself out by trying to make points with these people, to no avail. I go for a walk, enjoy a sunset or just enjoy time with my family. Much less stressful.

Nov. Broadcast - Truth
by Listener infor those that don't want to listen to the broadcast i've made a transcript on the section presented by losch on champions of truth.. be a champion of truth.
in today's world truth is being attacked and distorted.
we are being surrounded by a sea of lies and misrepresentations.... satan is the father of the lie but today there are children of the lie..... a lie is a false statement deliberately being presented as true.

Losch is the same GB member that made the statement...."I do not answer to Watchtower" and "Watchtower does not have and never had, any authority over me." The rank and files response...bob heads up and down and mindlessly follow these men.
You just can't make this sh*t up!

JWs Excited Trump Won
by LaurenM ini am incredibly disturbed.
many of the jws i'm still friends with on facebook are incredibly excited that trump won the american presidential race, posting, "yay!

JW's have been doing this since the beginning of time. They do it with every President that is elected. The JW's think that when they get a hang nail, it's the end. Like I posted on another topic. Wash, rinse, repeat. The saddest thing about JW's is that they are waiting to be happy in the new system. They don't realize that they actually can be happy now. We see this in our own families. No kids, no education, no jobs, no homes, no money. "We will be happy in the new system." Sad! Doom and gloomers.

He says "truth is definite and Jehovah conveys the truth to his servants." Then why does it need to change if it is truth and Jehovah gives it to his servants. Makes zero sense.

Oh...another drama on how not to answer the phone when your kid calls/texts. How wonderful! WT is really pounding the shunning. WT (aka Jehovah) must be really worried about JW's talking to their evil family members. Maybe they are worried about if they speak to them, maybe they will learn something WT doesn't want others to know. Like TTATT. There must be a BIG problem with people leaving. If it wasn't a big problem, WT would not keep addressing it.

GB "... it can make mistakes when explaining the Bible ..." Simplified version WT Feb 2017
by freddo instudy article: who is leading god's people today?
start of paragraph 12.. standard version: "the governing body is neither inspired nor infallible.
therefore, it can err in doctrinal matters or in organizational direction.".

"Simplified version: "The Governing Body is neither inspired nor perfect. It can make mistakes when explaining the Bible or directing the organization."
So if they made "a mistake" about blood transfusions...you're screwed!

"GB could announce that Armageddon was never coming or the paradise earth is not happening and majority would not blink an eye"
I have made this statement to my spouse before. It is amazing to watch these people drool all over the GB and the WT. I believe if they poured the kool aid many in our family would drink it with a smile. Sad!

It must be a relief for you.
"What I don't get is that he's a well respected elder and he honestly couldn't address one question raised."
We have noticed this also with our family. They just keep parroting, "obedience to Jehovah."
At least you have been honest with your families. I admire that. It will be interesting to see how they all treat you and your wife in the near future. I am sure you are prepared for whatever they have to dish our.
Keep us posted Darkknight757. Good for you, you were honest with your families. Maybe we will get there soon!
